"“This is the place to check out if you are interested in skin-contact wines from lesser-known places and rare grapes,” Goler says. “The team is super fun and friendly without any pretentiousness and will let you try anything. Plus, all the food is made in-house and right in front of you.” Goler recommends Ruffian for date night and to share a selection of small plates. For more of a full-service restaurant feel with a wine list hailing from northern Italy and eastern Europe, Goler also recommends Ruffian’s sister restaurant Kindred right around the corner." - amber gibson
